The whisky merchant and blender A&A Crawford was formed in Edinburgh in 1860 by brothers Aikman and Archibald Crawford. Crawford’s famous 3-Star Blend was introduced towards the end of the century, by which time both brothers had passed on. Crawford’s 5-Star De Luxe blend was launched in the 1920s, and the business became a limited company in 1942 before being acquired by Diageo forerunner Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in 1944.

Crawford’s was a popular blend in Scotland at the time of the takeover, and the company was later made licence-holder for DCL’s Benrinnes distillery. In 1986 United Distillers sold the UK distribution rights for Crawford’s, Buchanan’s and Haig to rivals Whyte & Mackay and consequently these brands are very rarely seen in the UK nowadays, but Crawford’s survives as an export brand and is popular in the USA.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.

Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.

No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.

All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
